PAWHUSKA, Okla. — Awards season has arrived, and that means eyes are back on Killers of the Flower Moon.
In Pawhuska, some Osage Nation members, including some cast and crew from the movie, got together to watch the Golden Globes.
One of the common questions on Hollywood's red carpet is, "Who are you wearing?" Shannon Shaw Duty and Chay Nicholas didn't know. Their minds were on other topics.
"It has been life-changing. It’s history," Duty said, "I don’t think that there could be another moment in time like this for us."
Duty saw both sides of the film as an extra in various scenes and as editor of the Osage News, covering the film.
The watch party was all her idea.
"I mean, we’ve already won. Whether we win any awards or not for the film, we’ve already won, and our story is being told," Duty said.
Chay Nichols was on hand at the event. She was an extra in the film. She applied for three different roles and finally landed the third.
Nicholas spent 29 days on set, but one moment stood out. One day, while waiting for fellow cast members to arrive, she took a moment to soak it all in.
"I started crying. The book came to life," Nicholas said.
Now, the film world is looking forward to the Oscars.
"We want to sweep it. For a movie being made in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, let’s sweep it, let’s take it," Nicholas said.
As for the prospects of another watch party ...
"We’ll see. [Osage News] might be covering the Oscars."
